Week 9 explanation

Why Holly Springs High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 28–25 win over Mantachie Attendance Center on Aug 28 (home), an opponent currently No. 195 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

L 22–52 at Coahoma County Jr/Sr High School (Oct 23); L 0–35 vs. East Webster High School (Oct 16); L 0–2 vs. PURE Academy (Oct 9). Recent-form percentile: 13.4.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 11.6 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing down — 1 game against higher classes, 3 in Class 3A, 3 against lower classes, and 1 against non-MHSAA or out-of-state opponents (rated by results, not by class).

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 10 spots to No. 197 (from No. 187). MFPI rating: decreased 3.7 points to 18.6. Largest component changes since Week 8: points allowed −1.3 pts; opponent-adjusted performance −1.3 pts; record −0.4 pts. Opponents' ratings are re-solved every week, so these can move without a new game.

Limitations

Ratings use only verified final scores through Oct 27, 2026, 11:00 AM CDT. Media rank and media strength of schedule (from MaxPreps) contribute 20%. MFPI does not consider injuries, rosters or weather, and it is not a prediction.
